Is Your Bathtub in Need of a Makeover?

Refinishing a tub instead of replacing it is a relatively cost-effective bathroom update that can save up to 75 percent on replacement costs.

Al’s Bathtub Refinishing provides a durable, economical service to homeowners, property managers and hotel operators. Refinishing a bathtub only takes a few hours and imparts a brand-new surface on the original tub. The result is a beautiful bathtub that has a brand-new, shiny, clean, durable, high-gloss surface in any color the customer chooses.

Trying to sell your home? Consider refinishing

The centerpiece of most bathrooms is the tub. While porcelain is a classic that never goes out of style, many people prefer the subtle elegance of subdued hues or the uplifting effect of brighter colors.

According to remodeling magazine, buyers love new kitchens and they love spacious, bright, up-to-date bathrooms as well. Real estate agents throughout the nation have said that updating the bathroom is one of the greatest investments an owner can make in a house. In fact, owners generally get $6 back for every $5 they invest in remodeling. Your investment return can be much more if you refinish your bathroom, and your house will sell more quickly.

Cost of refinishing tile vs. replacing

When you replace tile, you’ll need someone to physically remove the existing tile, repair any damage to the wall and install your new tile and grout. You’ll need to pay for the labor and for your new tile — and don’t forget about dealing with the pile of grungy old tile that was peeled off the wall. All of these steps and supplies can make replacing tile a hefty proposition.

When you refinish tile, you only pay for the refinishing. There is no demolition, hauling away of old tile or new tile to buy.
